Overview

MoveAnything

Table of Contents

MoveAnything enables you to move, scale, hide and adjust transparency of just about any screen element in WoW, offering tools to help you customize your UI. Some other frame modifications are also possible using MA's Frame Editors (Introduced in 11.b2), including framestrata, frame grouping and more.

Type /move to show the main window or click the button below the game menu. This main window contains a list of Blizzard's frames (any element not in the list can be added to the Custom Frames category by either /move frameName, /mafe frameName, /hide frameName or one of the move/mafe/hide keybindings).

Currently maintained by Resike. Many thanks to Alea of Гордунни EU who maintained it since the launch of MoP. Special thanks to Wagthaa of Earthen Ring EU who was the developer since the pre-WotLK patch. Kudos to Skrag (Original author), Jason (Vanilla) & Vincent (TBC) for earlier versions.

Reporting Bugs:Report bugs here - Include the LUA error message if applicable! If the problem is with a certain frame, always try to reset the frame and reload before modifying it again. If the problem persists please report it at the above link. Make sure you are running the latest version! You would be surprised how much time is wasted by reports of issues that are already resolved. The LUA error message should be from an addon such as Swatter(a part of Auctioneer) or BugSack if at all possible. If the issue you are reporting is the result of a LUA error and you don't include this you might as well not bother posting. If you feel like being helpful include your MA profile as an exported textstring in the report. Any comment on Curse or forum post on WoWInterface containing a full error report will be deleted, as one of those quickly takes up more than half a page.

Screenshots

All screenshots was taken with a customized button skin loaded. Buttons will appear as other buttons in your WoW.

Quickest way to modify a frame - Go into Keybindings, scroll down to MoveAnything and bind a key to "Move Frame - Safe". They key you bound now toggles a mover on the topmost frame underneath your mouse cursor.

Easiest way to reset a frame - Bind a key to "Reset Frame - Safe" as described above and press it while hovering your mouse cursor above the element you want to reset. Check the chatframe to verify it's the right frame before clicking the key again to confirm.

Moved something by mistake - Type /unmove last and it will reset the last frame you interacted with.

Figuring out frame names for use with /move, /hide, /mafe and /unmove - Use the "FS" checkbox to show Blizzard's Frame Stack tooltip. This tooltip displays a list of frames currently underneath your mouse cursor, divided by what screen layer they are in(aka framestrata).

Current issues:

Frames jumping when switching graphics from windowed to windowed-maximized mode have been reported.

My quest tracker will not stay in place which is weird because it did for the first week but now every time a load screen happens it reverts back to its original spot. I have to go into the /move -reset it and then place it where i like it every time I log in, or a cut screen/instance changes. please let me know if I am doing something wrong, I have properly logged out to save settings and all the other changes have "Stuck". The only other addon I use that is anything like this is Bartender, please advise.

I just started experiencing a really weird problem with moveanything as of this morning. If I made my character run (W), they would run for a second then pause, run, pause, run in a rapid stuttering motion which halved their usual movement speed.

To diagnose it, I uninstalled my addons one by one. When I removed moveanything, it went away completely.

Same with me. After logging into game. I can bring up the map, but the map UI borders are missing. As soon as I change zone, I am unable to bring up the map. I have to /reload after every zone change. The quest UI does not appear when I click the quest icon at bottom.

I disabled all addons and selectively enable one at a time until I found the problem. MoveAnything is cause the problems

I'm having the same exact problem as Holcene89. I disabled all my addons and when I enabled MoveAnything that's when the problem occurs. When I press "L" to bring up my quest log it hides my UI as if I pressed ALT-Z. Ever since 7.2 I have had a problem with this addon.

Ever since 7.2 I have had a problem with this addon. When I press "L" to bring up my quest log it hides my UI as if I pressed ALT-Z. It still brings up my quest log but I have to press ALT-Z every time to make everything reappear and it's really starting to get annoying.

I am positive that it's MoveAnything causing the issue because I disabled all my addons and everything worked fine, then I enabled my addons one at a time and didn't have any issues until I enabled MoveAnything. Just to double check I disabled every addon except MoveAnything and it started happening again.

I saw a couple of people reporting this issue on the main page so it's definitely not just me.

Hello, I don't know if this has been reportet but there is a bug with the "Tooltip" window. I am moving it from default (right) to over my chat (left). This works fine out of combat and only effects actual tooltips (ie stuff that appears when hovering over items or abilities still appears near the cursor and not in the tooltip position. THIS IS INTENDED!)

However once I join a raid or dungeon this all gets fucked up. Now all the tooltips, whether I hover over a buff or skill or item in my bags, all of them are moved to the position of the "Tooltip". In case of gear this creates enormous windows that block the entire screen, because it not only moves the tooltip but stretches it instead.

It doesn't give me any error messages (none that I have seen) but it's really annoying. I can post a screenshot later if you need one.

Seemingly random times WoW will not let me do something Because it says it is not aloud with this add on. 2 recent cases was trying to change pets on my hunter and when i was trying to leave dungeon finder que via the orb on my mini map.

When changing the opacity of raid frames, some party member's plates will have a permanent grey block behind the frame, independent of alpha setting. Resetting or reloading just seems to randomize which players will have the grey blocks.
